02. Azure using Python SDK: Access and upload files in Azure Blob Storage

In this video, I will show you how to access Azure Blob Storage using Python SDK. Azure Blob Storage is a cloud service that allows you to store and retrieve large amounts of unstructured data, such as images, videos, documents, and more. You can use Azure Blob Storage to store data for your applications, backup and archive data, or serve static content for your websites.

Note : Azure Active Directory is now Microsoft Entra ID. Please do create your Service Principal in Microsoft Entra ID.

To access Azure Blob Storage using Python SDK, you will need to install the following packages:

azure-storage-blob: This package provides a client library for interacting with the blobs in Azure Blob Storage.
azure-identity: This package provides a set of credentials classes that can be used to authenticate with Azure services.
You will also need to create an Azure account and a storage account in the Azure portal.
